Google’s new search services and privacy policy have some calling for a boycott

[Commentary] What are the alternatives to Google if you’re trying to get some serious searching done? Microsoft’s Bing; DuckDuckGo; Blekko; and WolframAlpha.

These services can’t fully replace what Google does. For better or worse, Google has created a mountain of knowledge and incredible tools for sorting through that mountain. Even if you adopt one (or all) of the engines above, I bet you will still feel a longing to return to the big, comprehensive world of Google when you just need to get the job done. At the end of the day, you may not agree with Google’s policies, but it’s hard to argue with the (search) results.
